In one way or the other, you would have come in contact with stories of people who were possessed by one demon or the other. These persons most times are seen suffering both physical and mental injuries dues to the workings of the demons that live within them. To a layman who does not understand the things of the spirit, it may seem a movie or one form of show or the other when they come in contact with demonic manifestations. Being possessed is something that cannot be taken for granted because it messes up the life of people who are under the control of these wicked and deadly demons.

When people under the control of these demons act or do things that are so strange, it is not advisable to isolate them or stigmatize them because whatever you see them do is not by their making. This is why families and communities will always seek stronger and more spiritual help through an exorcist.

There is one great disadvantage of being possessed which is one of the reasons why it is always hard to deliver a possessed person. Anyone who is possessed does not have the slightest clue about what he/she is passing through. Most times, it takes the help and thorough observation by others to reveal it to them. The very big question I ask myself is; does being possessed mean the end for the possessed? This is a question you must find an answer to but before them, I would like us to look at the bone of contention in today’s post.

How tough is your Demon?

A lot of us are fighting different types of battles ranging from the spiritual to the physical but I will not dwell any more on the spiritual battle because today’s post is not for the spiritual rather it is for the physical. The question that might be running through your mind right now is; what demon is he talking about? First, I would want to reiterate that I am talking about the physical demons that we all battle with every day of our life and these demons are;

·        Sex (womanizing/ cheating/ rape/ unfaithfulness).

·        Alcoholism (beer/ whiskey/ brandy/ scotch/ rum).

·        Drug abuse (cocaine/ marijuana/ weed/ all kinds of pill)

·        Excessive smoking.

·        Stealing (armed robbery/ kidnapping/ embezzlement/ all kinds of fraudulent activities).

·        Over spending (uncontrollable clubbing/ buying of cars/ clothes/ shoes/ cosmetics/ eating unnecessarily/ giving without control)

·        Lying (both on calls/ texts/ physically)

·        Anger issues.

·        Depression caused by (failed marriage/ unemployment/ heartbreak/ death of a loved one/ lack of money/ lack of peace of mind)

·        Trust issues.

·        Excessive Jealousy.

·        Fear of failure.

These and many other things are some of the demons we battle with every day of our lives.

The very question you must ask yourself at this point is; what demon am I battling with? It is true this question that we get to understand what and how we have become either slave to these demons or masters of them. You may be very lucky to be among those who are not battling with any of these demons but the issue is; is there anyone who is not battling any demon in life? If we understand that life throws these demons at us whether we like it or not, it will give us an edge over them by making us prepared and ready to face them.

 

One thing I have noticed is that it is easy to say you will not succumb to any of these demons, but when reality strikes, you see yourself falling headlong into the arms of your demon without any clue on way out. The challenge is not about having a demon it is about not having the guts to fight it head-on with all you have even as it becomes harder to do. Let us look at this case scenario…

Trying to quit

I am not a smoker neither am I a councillor who should know what and how a smoker can go about quitting but one thing I know is that, if you are a smoker and you want to quit smoking, you must be able to accept within you that you need help. Just like every other demon we battle in life, you must have been able to see the damages the demon has caused in your life thereby accepting that you need help in battling it. Without acceptance, you will find out that the battle will be fruitless because you will give up on the way. Fighting our demons is what we all must do and nothing else. It is like working hard every day just to take care of your needs and that of your family. Even when you don’t have the strength to go to work, you will always push yourself because of the fear of not meeting up with your goals in life. This is the very same way we should fight our demons relentlessly because if we give up, we have lost the battle.

Being there for others

That is one thing I have noticed that makes me sick about most people. The way we tend to make fun of others who are battling with one demon or the other is because we feel we are better than them. What do you do when you see someone who is battling alcoholism? I bet you now understand what I am talking about. A lot of us will seize that opportunity to treat these persons who are not happy with themselves bad just because we feel we are better than them. Instead of making fun of these people, we should lend a helping hand, by so doing we will make them understand that they are loved and cared for. We cannot continue to treat these people like trash and expect to win our battles. One thing we don’t know is that that drunkard may be our demon in life and if we do not show them, love, we will certainly not be able to win the battle.

Finally, in all that you do never give up the fight because the world we live in is not a bed of roses rather we should be ready to expect these demons to rear their ugly heads at all times. Remember, that you are not an alcoholic or a smoker today does not mean that you won’t be tomorrow because depression can cause the human mind to do some stupid things. Your demon is not and can never be tougher than you because you have the power to become that which you want to be. Be that helping hand you need for others because we grow in life by helping others.

Thank you for reading.

We do face our demons. People might have many of that at the same time. And yes, offer a helping hand to someone who's battling with his demons and hopefully someone will help you up as well. Oh, this is more said to myself😁

I even thought Davinchysax wanted to go deep into the spiritual demon that requires Exorcism 😅😅 But you have listed the physical kinds of demon in us. Every human beings belong to either one or two of the aforementioned especially the lying own. I wouldn't say I haven't lied and still do especially the phone calls or normal lying to excuse myself. When I see people with this kind of demon in them, I just conclude not to associate with them so I don't get influenced but that doesn't mean we won't be friends or seeing each other to greet.

Just as you have said, they need help only if we see it in them that they truly need. Most of them won't even think of stopping such act in them. So we also need to be opened to know who really needs the help or not.

It is one thing to have a demon you are battling with and it is another thing to realise that you have a demon you have to battle with.

This is where most people get so confused that they do not know when, how or even what they are battling with. We must always make a conscious effort to reach out to those who may not know that they are battling with a particular demon in life.

living on this imperfect earth means we all will be facing a demon one way or another... I hope we get to repent of these sinful acts and turn back to our God and never look back again by His grace.

It's a battle we must fight to finish otherwise we will become the losers and not the winners.

I have a friend whose "Demon" is Womanizing. Anytime we tell him to take things slowly he will reply that it's inevitable. Every man has his own addiction, be it, alcoholism, gambling, Womanizing, drugs etc. He's always looking for ways to justify his actions. If one don't fight this demons on time it will end up leading to ones destruction.

Of course, we cannot say that we can't fight these demons because we are made to be higher and greater than them at all times, the only thing we have to do is to stand strong and fight it till the end. Womanizing is a very deadly demon he should not play with.
